Capítulo 3: Dragon Slaughtering Training
Editor: TheSloth
He clicked on the Panda TV website, then registered the account of an anchor, "Chen B-Dog", and uploaded his identity card, bank card and other information.
The verification would not be so fast; moreover, the website’s open beta was tomorrow. It must have a lot of issues that needed to be prepared, there was no reason for him to hurry. He then remembered he had a beginner pack that was yet to be activated; therefore, he quickly received it.
"Congratulations to Master for activating the beginner pack. You have gained big gift pack 5 technical points."
"Learned Eight Extreme Fist (A), LV1 (0/10)."
His mind was blank in an instant. It seemed that endless information was entering into his brain instantly. He was shocked, it was the first time he felt disbelief towards this so-called system. Due to too much information input, the brain was feeling dizzy; therefore, the self-protecting mechanism had been activated. He fell backwards without hesitating, asleep on his bed.
The next day, B-Dog woke up at dawn. After washing up, he switched on the computer and realized that his verification had been passed. "It seems like somebody was burning the midnight oil yesterday."
Probably because it was too early, even though the website design was superb, there were very few anchors broadcasting. He immediately set up the AI (Artificial Intelligence) Ball.
"AI automated filming mode activated."
"Connecting to My Live Broadcasting Room, visualize pop-out comments, direct transmission to brain."
"Beep, set up completed, do you want to activate the broadcast right away?"
Chen B-Dog smiled, writing a sentence on the broadcast content, "Preparing to slaughter dragons in the sky and catch soft-shelled turtles from the sea!"
He went out and bought some buns and a cup of soy milk, while drinking he came to the park near Hengdian World Studio. In order to promote tourism, Heng Dian had been taking care of the surrounding public infrastructure. There were many parks like this one.
Looking at the sky, he activated the broadcast. Taking out his cell phone, the room popularity showed a 0.
This was obviously the case.
He did not care and started to work out with the support of the system.
He first started to jog to warm up his body, running by the lake at a moderate speed. After lying in bed for half a month, his body was getting rusty. He was panting for breath after running for one round. It was a chilly January but he was wearing thin sportswear. A layer of water vapor actually started rising from the top of his head, making him look like a martial artist practicing the "Three Flowers Top Assembly".
"Oh, it's a fatty."
"Anchor, what martial arts are you practicing? Such a powerful inner strength, smoke is rising from your head."
He was a bit shocked as the voice came to his ear suddenly. Then only did he realized somebody was sending a pop-out comment.
He did not stop running and just smiled at the hidden camera and said, "Finally, someone came. Hu-hu, I have been running around the lake for one round. I thought nobody would be watching. Welcome to my broadcast room, Anchor is practicing the Dragon Slaughtering Art.
There was another message popped out in pop-out comment – "Anchor, you look so chubby, how cute."
"Your voice is pretty good, quite magnetic. Training so early, I am still lying on my bed."
It was not a good habit to talk while running, but since it was the first day of broadcasting, B-Dog was willing to chat. He slowed down his running speed and answered, "Early birds get the worm, early fatty gets the meat. Anchor wishes to build up the body like Captain America, do you think it is possible?"
He interacted with passion but there was no pop-out comment reply after a while. He reckoned the guy who shot the pop-out comment just now exited after joining and felt a little discouraged. After adjusting his mood, he decided to focus on training first.
Soon somebody realized he was not using a handheld selfie stick and the picture resolution was extremely high definition. The filming skill must be professional. There was no shaking and the filming was taken from various angles, it was just like watching a movie. You could feel attracted just by watching the scenery alone. "Anchor, you have your own cameraman? The scenery is beautiful, where is it?"
B-Dog avoided the question about cameraman and said, "I am at Heng Dian, the surroundings are from the Video City. If there is a chance, I could bring you guys to visit the filming scenes, it was quite common to bump into the artists. Friends, if you like to meet the artists, please click the following button at the upper right side. You will never lose your way if you follow me. Today is the first day of the open beta, you can get double Bamboos. It is also my first time broadcasting. It is fate we met. You could be the first to follow my broadcast room and the first to send me Bamboos."
"B-Dog, you talk well and have a friendly name. Remember my name, if you could run faster for another two rounds, I will send you the Panda’s first Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Panda’s gift was categorized as: Bamboos, which were free; Rich Ball priced at 20 cents; Grilled Fish priced at 5 dollars; Lobsters priced at one hundred dollars, and the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall priced at one thousand dollars.
Buddha Jumps over the Wall was extraordinary. With every Buddha Jumps over the Wall sent, the screen would display the full advertisement horizontally, and the treasure box would be activated in the broadcast room. Inside the treasure box would be filled with Bamboos. After watching the Buddha Jumps over the Wall and viewing the horizontal advertisement then you may enter the room which had the Buddha Jumps over the Wall gift and wait for 150 seconds before the Bamboo grabbing was allowed.
By doing this, the anchor in the room could use this opportunity of two and half minutes to keep the new audiences.
Most of the broadcast websites were using this mode, mostly imitated from Shark TV. Probably, the only difference was just that Shark TV was massive and the web page was redundant. There were too many of the advertisements making it look ugly. Panda was newly established, so the page was looking light and clean.
Chen B-Dog took a quick glance at the pop-out comments. He remembered the name "Freelance Cowboy", smiled and said, "Frankly, I was injured some time ago and was only discharged yesterday after two weeks hospitalization, I am not recovered yet, so I’m not suited to do any intensive exercises today. However, my target is to run for 10 kilometers. It is about 2 kilometers for one round here. I have run for about one and a half rounds. Logically I could run for another 2 rounds, but I cannot run faster. I am not doing this for the Buddha Jumps over the Wall. My target is to be fit like the Captain America. Therefore, I will continue to exercise every day, you guys can monitor me. If I am idle before I could reach the target, I will broadcast myself jumping into the lake!"
"Bravo, Anchor, your target is magnificent. I already followed you and will come to check once I am free."
"Anchor, you are now the Panda Outdoor Top Superstar."
Chen B-Dog could not help laughing. He said, "I heard the website has signed up many anchors. There are many gaming anchors and even Korean female anchors, but I am the only outdoor anchor doing broadcasting."
There were people sending Bamboos and Rice Balls continuously, but not many.
There were not many people on the first day. For every gift sent, B-Dog would try his best to say thank you.
He spoke less gradually and ran, panting for another round.
"B-Dog, here is another round before Buddha Jumps over the Wall, remember my ID." It was still "Freelance Cowboy". He had already sent 100 Bamboos x 10 times repeatedly.
The Bamboo would require sending in the multiple of 100, logically it was 10 cents for every 100 Bamboos. In order to obtain 100 Bamboos, the user had to stay in the broadcast room for at least one hour. Furthermore, the free Bamboo that could be obtained in a day was limited. It was almost 100 Bamboos only. Besides that, reloading or grabbing the treasure box and during events, would there be some Bamboos sent for free. Hence, it was not easy to collect Bamboos as a free user.
However, the Bamboo was a free gift, hence the proportion of earnings was lower, but it could help to increase the height of the anchor. For every 100 Bamboos, the anchor’s height could be increased 0.01mm which was shown behind the anchor’s ID. The height was the direct judgement of the anchor’s popularity.
Hence, there was a saying in the broadcast world, "Dollar gifts are a game for the rich, only the free gifts are true love." But to an anchor, one rich person could feed many small anchors.
Ten thousand Bamboos could not beat one Buddha Jumps over the Wall!
"Thanks, Chief Cow for your 1000 Bamboos."
B-Dog expressed his appreciation.
